There are multiple games with free updates. I'd say the thing that would most likely lead to this not getting a Switch 2 update/port is that it's Unreal engine, and the version that this game uses doesn't have support for Switch 2 hardware.

Interested to hear more about difficulty options. Pikmin 4 desperately needed them. Too few areas chicken out on enemy placement and Oatchi rapes the everloving shit out of most of the Piklopedia.

It's such an arbitrary way of increasing difficulty. A Pikmin hard mode should keep the limit to 100 but make the enemies harder and the days shorter. An actual test of skill for how well you can multitask instead of this half-assed shit

I don't think they showed all the costume Pikmin, just three of them. Based on the the Decor Pikmin Hints screen, there's probably eight of them at least, and the three visible hints having NEW on them means the obtainable list can be updated with more hints, probably more appearing after the first three are collected.

pikmin 4 was not difficult at all.
1 is the only "hard" game and that's because of the time limit, but even then once you know what you're doing you can easily collect every ship part within a few weeks of game days and leave the planet well before you run out of time.

The fact that they keep doing it during the final fucking boss is horseshit, are the devs so afraid of retards not getting the concept of Pikmin that they have to pester them in the right direction over the course of the whole game?

What a retarded way of thinking about this. Nintendo isn’t cancelling switch 2 upgrades to their games, fucking idiot. If anything they’re doing this because they know they can’t get away with charging that much for Pikmin. The same reason why the Pikmin 1+2 ports were $40 total and the Mario galaxy ones were $70. This will likely still get a switch 2 visual upgrade over time, as there are features shown in this trailer that were not talked about during it.

Just start off with a charge from Oatchi, dismount and let him do his thing whilst you and your Pikmin donkey punch the daylights out of the cunts. It is a bit of trial and error but I don't think the autolock is quite so bad for this mission in particular.
